About GHRI Ratings

X

Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.

Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.

Pros

Consistent light distribution

Reaches full brightness as soon as its turned on

Cons

Marginally less efficient than other LEDs

Marginally less bright than similar Watt-equivalent bulbs

Consumer testers did not like the light distribution from this bulb

Expensive

The SATCO KolourOne provided reasonably good light distribution

The SATCO KolourOne provided reasonably good light distribution and, at 5.4 measured Watts, it drew the least amount of energy of any tested bulbs. Despite being rated as a 40-Watt equivalent, our measurements showed the bulb was relatively dim. Consumers werent as enthusiastic about the light quality, and it was marginally less than other LEDs in our test.
